This also predates ME3 as I think Jacob could have been a more favourable character if he was bit more open with Shepard (and how the romance turns out) I understand the developer's justification that characters make their own choices. I think if Jacob was wanting to have a baby with female Shepard that could have made him a bit more favourable. Jacob entering a relationship with Dr. Bryn Cole kind of shows that there was not much point to the romance. I mean what would be the fan response of Tali cheating on Shepard, I think that would be death threats. Again I understand Jacob makes his own choice to go after to another woman, it just sucks for those who wanted a relationship with him. If Shepard was already in relationship with Liara or Kaiden then Jacob would go after Dr Cole, if not then he stays faithful.

Jacob's pretty much a "normal guy" in the terms of not having a traumatic background and not being on the verge of losing his mind every now and then. He is a strong-minded character who could have had a deeper meaning, but it feels like he doesn't.  The whole "I'm just a soldier" is being humble as well as boring. I like the first few conversations you have with him but after that he doesn't want to talk much.

 By virtue of being a blank-slate YES, he had lots of potential.


Could've been an awesome, but they did nothing with him.

[Bob Garbage]

I don't mind him one way or the other. He is pretty boring.

[DeinonSlayer]

Yes. I would have preferred he be XO instead of Miranda - at least he has experience captaining a ship.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Jacob had potential to rejoin being part of the alliance again, taking the fight to the reapers on the front lines.

Or going home and being a family man, either on works.

wow this thread just triggered my anti virius.

Jacob was one of the best characters ever.

Who am I kidding? He's not. His character did not get much love.

[Grubas]

Truly he was a stright up guy. Thats what i thought ... until i saw his Shadow Broker Dossier.
Even the Master of Information couldnt find anything more intresting to report, than the number of crunches and situps Jacob does every morning...

Maybe jacob isn't really real, and he's the embodiment of shepards indoctrination. Maybe he's even a representation of someone shepard failed to save, someone whose name started with a J as well.

Jacob

I smell a conspiracy.

[Uncle Jo]

Potential? Sure, it couldn't go worse anyways.

Pontential? He's the best character in the series anyway

[Dr_Extrem]

at the beginning of mass effect 2 - yes ... but nothing came.


now he only has airlock-potential.

[bboynexus]

He has one very underrated conversation in ME2, actually, during a Femshep romance.

[IMNOTCRAZYiminsane]

 if it was like this of course 

[Yate]

Jacob was cool. Never understood why people hated him. He had his issues, but he didn't bug you with them, unlike every other LI. Pity the fans only have love for aliens.

[UrgentArchengel]

I thought he was fine. But he did kinda go nowhere. Heck, he goes in reverse if he was your LI.

[samgurl775]

Jacob in ME2 was pretty much a human Garrus. A former soldier with hatred for politics that just wanted to do the right thing no matter the cost. I actually liked him in ME2 (he had the same "bro" feeling that Garrus does) but then he went through character assassination in ME3. So yes, I think he had a lot of potential, but he likely would have never been very popular because he's a human.

[Merchant2006]

Jacob cheats on FemShep in ME3.

Assuming anyone let him touch the priiiiiiiiiiiiiize in ME2. He's a useless moron. Adding him in the upcoming DLC? Heavy Risk.

That's enough cheesy bad references. Bye.

[M Hedonist]

I guess he could've been president of the USA.

[LTKerr]

Potential... for being killed in the Suicide Mission? Yeah! He volunteers.

It seems to have stopped now, do you remember the address it was blocking?

[Galbrant]

I don't know.... but all I do know my Renegade Femshep will be kidnapping his baby and sell it for red sand.

[Whybother]

I think a lot of his character issues would have been overlooked if he wasn't so thoroughly useless in missions. He is completely useless in his own loyalty mission and gets killed even in easy mode. The only action he's ever seen outside recruiting Mordin is getting to be one of the squad leaders during the Suicide Mission because I know I won't want him in my squad.
